Seleculus Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Service
Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Service
1. Private Collection & Independent Seller Status
Seleculus sells items from a curated personal collection and privately sourced archives based in Sydney, Australia. We are not an authorized dealer, representative, or affiliate of any of the brands featured on this platform.
No Official Affiliation: Seleculus is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any luxury houses (e.g., Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, etc.) or their subsidiaries.
Trademark Ownership: All brand names, logos, and trademarks displayed on this website are the sole property of their respective owners. Their use on this site is for descriptive and identification purposes only, in accordance with “Fair Use” principles for the resale of authentic goods.
2. Sourcing & The “First Sale” Doctrine
Items offered by Seleculus may originate from the owner’s personal purchases at luxury house boutiques, as well as from private collections, auction houses, or reputable secondary market suppliers.
Personal Collection: Seleculus facilitates the sale of items from a curated personal collection and private archives.
Right to Resell: Under established commercial law, once a trademarked item has been legitimately sold into the marketplace, the owner has the legal right to resell that specific physical item without the original brand’s permission.
3. Category-Specific Authentication Protocol
To ensure the integrity of our collection, we employ a tailored verification process for different product categories:
Vintage Bags: Every vintage bag is accompanied by an independent Third-Party Report of Authenticity. To remain ahead of “super-fakes,” we utilize a fluid network of external experts (including but not limited to Entrupy and Legit Grails). This report is provided as a neutral, second-opinion audit.
Global Fashion & GWP: Designer clothing, samples, and Beauty Gift-With-Purchase (GWP) items are authenticated in-house by Seleculus specialists. Due to the limited-run, non-retail, or archival nature of these items, they often lack the serial data required for third-party AI databases. Our internal vetting process ensures they meet the high standards of their respective Maisons.
4. Legitimacy of “Gift with Purchase” (GWP) Items
Seleculus offers a curated selection of “Gift with Purchase” (GWP) items and VIP promotional accessories.
Origin: These items were originally distributed by luxury brands as complimentary gifts for VIP clients or during specific promotional events.
Resale Status: Once these items have been gifted and entered private ownership, they are considered personal property. Seleculus acts as a secondary market platform for the transfer of these private assets.
Non-Retail Disclaimer: Customers acknowledge that GWP items were not intended for original retail sale and may differ in construction, packaging, or markings from the brand’s main-line retail products.
5. Limitation of Liability
While Seleculus provides a Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee for every item sold, we do not provide any manufacturer’s warranties.
Condition: As we specialize in vintage and archived pieces, items are sold in their “as-is” condition as documented in our product descriptions and photography.
Third-Party Opinions: Authentication reports from services like Entrupy or Legit Grails are independent expert opinions and do not constitute an official certification from the brand manufacturer.
